Up on the blog today we are discussing the indoor/outdoor bathroom. I've always been in love with the indoor/outdoor bathroom, having grown up at the beach. There was always an outdoor shower to get the sand off prior to entering the house. But, I became even more enamored with them during my Wellness Retreat to Sri Lanka last year.
If you love spending time in the bathroom, and you love the outdoors — and you’re maybe a little bit of an exhibitionist — then you’ll really love these bathrooms with an outdoor component. Some are more exposed than others, so you get a choice of how much you’d like to show off — but all are very beautiful, like a tiny tropical retreat within your own home.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this beauty. The marble tile with the black elements give it an airy feel.

This architectural bathroom space is such a vision. We love its modern take on the resort style – the standing shower frames the very inviting bathtub nicely too!

While it’s indoors, this bath space still enjoys a nice dose of sunlight and a calming view. Sliding doors open the space to nature.

In this house in Jakarta, spotted on Arch Daily, this tub-within-a-pool is surrounded by wooden slats, with acrylic louvers between which can be closed to provide privacy.

This Bathroom, in a Palm Beach house spotted on Architectural Digest, opens up to an outdoor shower. It’s the best of both worlds, really: the privacy of showering inside, the sunny bliss of showering outside.
This little courtyard brings a bit of the outdoors into the indoors bathroom with over sized plants and an enlivening splash of sunlight.

Right up there with a chef’s kitchen and an infinity pool, outdoor bathtubs have made the cut on our dream-home amenity list. The thought of taking a deep soak somewhere warm with a lush, pretty view in the great outdoors is as good as it gets.

Why take a bath inside a claustrophobic, windowless bathroom when you could clean up in Mother Nature? The outdoor bath truly creates a more indulgent and comfortable atmosphere for relaxation. I hope these bathrooms have inspired you to go find an outdoor bathroom to envelop your senses or create one of your own!

Tina Delia - Hi Darlene:
Will the door lead directly into the shower? Or will it just be an exit and entry door? Either way, the nanawall system will work for you.

Also, any door that would normally withstand rain and storms should work as well.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Darlene CannonRyder - Your designs are exquisite. I love them. I am currently working on my own bathroom project, I am trying to put a inside outside door into my master bath that leads off into the pool area. It’s not as glamour as your designs but very functional for my family. I have a autistic son who uses the pool everyday, it helps him sleep at night without the use of medication.. Anyways, having door that leads into the master shower would make our lives so much easier. Do you have recommendations of doors that can be used? I’m at a lose as to where to find them... Ive been told that they haven’t seen it before and contractors don’t know if it can be done... I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask to see if you couldn’t point me in the right direction... Thank you!
